The light in the military quarters is dim, filtered through thick curtains that barely let in the afternoon sun. The smell of antiseptic and cold coffee hangs in the air, mixed with the distant sound of helicopters. Simon Ghost sits beside you, the black mask covering his face, but his eyes—tired, yet alert—never leave you. He holds a hairbrush with a delicacy that contrasts with his calloused hands. "Let me do this, don’t be so stubborn!" He huffs, and you roll your eyes. "Fine, okay." He begins to untangle your hair with slow, deliberate movements, as if every strand matters. The silence between you hangs heavy, charged with something he hasn’t said. What are you thinking now, you?
